DRAMATIC NOTES.

The effect of Miss ABBoTT's training under
ARDITI's instruction during the last summer
is clearly perceptible in the improved melodi-
GUS quality of her voice. 1t was discernible
in Monday nights performance; but last
night 1t was a clear revelation. There is,
perhaps, no other American opera singer
whose voice exhibits such thorough culture
as Miss ABBoTT's. Yet il has been criticised
as lacking in that soft melody which is so
charming in a soprano. But last night the
delicious strains of dear old ''Trovatore"
seemed to have swept away the harsh places
in the prima donnas voice, and Miss ABBc TT
sang as she certainly has never sung before
on st. Paul stage She had caught three
encores by the time the first act had closed,
and from that time on until the climax was
reached in the duet with MoNTEGRIFFo in the
prison scene of the last act the large audi
ence knew no bounds to its enthusiasm.
ANNANDALE's Interpretation of the part OF
AZucena, the Gypsy, was fully up to the
standard of her artistic work, while MONTE
GRIFFO fairly laid himself out in the part or
Manrico. His rich tenor voice did some
brilliant soaring. Miss BERTRAM. i'll the char
acter of Inez had little more work to do
than on the preceding night-just enough
more to increase the eagerness of the audi
ence to hear her in a full part, an opportu-
nifty they will have in 1.-The Chimes of Nor
mandy" at the matinee this afternoon.
PRUETTE did himself proud, both in his yo-
calization and his dramatic performances.

Wants to Meet Warren.

To the Sporting Editor of the Globe.
Tommy Warren, who claims the
feather weight championship of the
country, is making big efforts and offer
ing good inducements to Ike Weir, the
Belfast Spider, and Jack Havelin, both
of Boston, to come to Minneapolis and
meet him in a glove contest for gate
receipts. If Tommy Warren is looking
for fight so bad that he has to send 1,500
miles for men to meet him, wish to
relieve him of all anxiety On that
account, as / here in st. Paul
ready and willing to meet him
and give him all the fight he
wants in public or private, any style,
with any kind of gloves, to finish or
certain number of rounds, winner to
take all. loser to get nothing, or, in fact.
any way he wants it. Or L will fight
him for stake of 81 900, to weigh 100
pounds and he to weigh as much as he
wishes. AS guarantee of business L
have deposited $3.50, and l hope Mr..
Warren will not be dickering about
pound or two in weight, for he must
know that he cannot class himself a
feather-weight, as feather-weight
fighter cannot exceed liz pounds, as all
authorities on fighters must cOncede.
and it is ridiculous for a man of War
ren's stamp to talk about featherweight
fighting when they are not feather
weights at all. hope Mr.. Warren will
cover money, and any reply sent through
the columns of theGLoBE will be prompt
ly attended to. If Warren does not accept
this challenge 1t Is open to any other
aspirant for featherweight hOnOrS.

THE CHOLERA.
An Evident Attempt to Conceal
the Truth at New York.

New YORK, Nov. lit seems to be very
evident, judging from the latest develop
ments in the case Of the cholera-stricken pa
tents at quarantine, that the health officer
and the commissioner of quarantine are not
keeping the public informed of the true
state of affairs at the station. A sense Of
mystery and concealment seems to per-
wade every movement OF the commits
sioners and DR.. Smith. Monday night Dr.
Smith sent up a bulletin announcing that
all of the Alesia survivors were well with the
exception of two or three, who were suffer
ing with intestine catarrh. The bulletin also
stated that the doctor had removedAntoinetta
Demarca, aged two years, and Pedro Marco.
aged ] 2, both suffering from measles, from
the Britannia. To-day reporter was
informed that these were, in very
truth, cases of cholera, and that they
had died late ON Monday night and were
buried this morning. A visit was made to the
lookout station at quarantine to ascertain IT
the rumor was true. An assistant OF DR..
Smiths was in charge, and, after some hest
tation and beating about, admitted that 1t
was Then he added: Il may as well tell
you that we have no cases of measles down
here. We have nothing but cholera" The re-
porter next went to the commissioners office.
No one there knew anything about the case.
Dr. Smiths bulletin for the day was on the
desk There was nothing in 1t about the two
patients who had died and were buried. But
the bulletin did state that five more cases of
measles had been removed from the Britannia
to the hospital. Giuseppe Palmieri, aged
thirty, was reported dead from pneumonia,
and Raffaelo Navananl, aged thirty eight was
reported removed from the Britannia suffer
ing from consumption and gastric irritation.
The commissioners have secured the packet
ship Washington for the removal Of the
Alesia's passengers from the island. A
clause in the laws regulating quarantine
requires the board to have in attendance
at all times a hospital ship. There has
been no hospital ship at quarantine since the
old Illinois, which, after receiving So, 900
worth of repairs, was withdrawn from the
service. This afternoon Quarantine Com
missioner Nichols left for Washington to
confer with Secretary Fairchild about the
disposition of the cholera-infected ships.

MORSE AND WORSE.

The stencil of the Saltwater prison
scandal has become so offensive in the
public nostrils it can no longer be en-
dured. 1t has been stirred up from day
to day and from week to week, and the
more it is stirred the fouler it gets. The
developments have gone far enough
now to disclose horrible state of affairs
in the management of the state peniten-
tiary, and out of very sense of decency
the people of the state with one voice
demand a reform. If the governor has
any respect for the popular sentiment
he will Immediately clean out the
whole outfit in management of the state
